This blog features video of the two keynote speeches at the Higher Education Academy conference in Lincoln, NE, the organization's first gathering.
To view the speeches, just scroll down; you will find the speeches divided into parts of approximately six or seven minutes each for your convenience. Doug Christensen gives the first speech, in which he discusses challenges facing K-16 education in Nebraska, and then Kathy Sproles offers words about the present and precarious state of higher education in the nation.
(Please excuse the quality of the films; among other things, I did not have a tripod, which accounts for the rather jumpy quality of the footage. I vow to do a better job for the next conference in 2009.)
At this site, you will find a slide show of images from the conference.
